The European Union has sharply condemned the crackdown on protesters in Iran who have taken to the streets to show their discontent over the Islamic Republic.
"The Iranian people are fighting for their future. By ignoring their rightful demands, the regime shows its true colours," High Representative Kaja Kallas said on Friday. "Images from Tehran reveal a disproportionate and heavy-handed response by the security forces. Any violence against peaceful demonstrators is unacceptable."
